New King- Chapter 2
I'm really sorry for the short chapters, I have a horrible thing called frequent writers block. Thank you for the few people who reviewed and favorited, you really made my day.

"Such a nice place to be this time of year..." Hichigo murmured as he walked through the makeshift gate into the Rukongai. "Damn Urahara!" he cursed as he realized he was in Rukongai. He thought he was going to the Seireitei, but looking into when Ichigo got the one-time use gate, Urahara had never said it would get someone into the Seireitei. The words that were used were more like, 'Soul Society'. Which the Rukongai did qualify as the Soul Society he figured.
Hichigo had been walking for a few minutes and was already impatient with it already. 'Why the hell couldn't I already be there!' he complained to no one in particular. What he didn't notice was, while in his train of thought, he had stopped watching where he was going. Then Hichigo stumbled right over something.
"What the hell was that?" he snarled after regaining his balance. He then looked back, then to see behind him a few steps, was a small boy. In the usual Rukongai garb, he was lying face down in the dirt. Obviously what Hichigo had tripped over. "Get up you little freak." he said to the boy, a little confused why the boy wasn't already up.
A small strained voice replied, "I w-would... B-but something is pressing me d-down." he then gasped for air, loud enough for Hichigo to hear.
"Oh I get it..." Hichigo grinned, a Gin-like smile coming over him. "My reiatsu all by itself is crushing you to the ground like the little baby you are..." he then walked over to the boy, "Are you going to get up? Or am I going to bring you?" he shouted at the boy.
"I'm trying!" the boy cried out in fear and desperation. He then started crying, his tears going into the dry earth below.
Hichigo laughed and picked the boy up by the scruff of his neck. "Are you trying enough? Or are you being a lazy little prick? You're wasting my time." he said, shaking the boy as he spoke.
"Stop this Hichigo." Zangetsu warned from the inner world. "This child did nothing to you, let him go. Or else."
"Or else what!" Hichigo shouted, holding up the boy even higher. "You'll stop lending me your power? You do that for too long and we'll all die old man, or not... I could just fully take over and we wouldn't have to-"
"Stop. You win. Do what you like. But have a heart; this boy did nothing to you." Zangetsu said, losing the argument with the new king.
"I don't have a heart." he said, putting his hands around the neck of the small Rukongai child. In one swift motion, and with a clear *crack* the child's neck was broken and Hichigo dropped him back onto the ground.
"You bastard!" Ichigo shouted to Hichigo. "That innocent kid never did anything to you!"
"He was in my way." Hichigo said while stepping over the body of the child and continuing on towards the Seireitei.
"You know Ichigo; I never knew you were such a cruel sick twisted person." Soi Fon said, standing on a roof opposite to were he was. Hichigo decided to let the little 'Ichigo' act go on, just until he could get into the Seireitei.
Hichigo put on his best Ichigo scowl and turned towards Soi Fon. "Well I really don't know wha..." he faked surprise. Like he hadn't known what he was doing. "Did.. Did.. Did I..."
"Too bad I didn't come fast enough to stop you from breaking the neck of some innocent child Kurosaki." she said, a look of disgust on her face. "Exactly why... Did you do that?"
"I didn't... I don't... How... What did I do?" Hichigo said, faking like a pro. Soi Fon, not feeling like she was in any danger hopped off the roof and walked over to Hichigo.
"You must be the massive reiatsu we sensed. Part hollow. Which right now, much more hollow is coming out than anything else." she said to Hichigo, looking slightly confused. "Is your hollow side taking more control? Is that why you killed that child?" she asked him. "Is that why your eyes are black and yellow?"
'Crap!' Hichigo thought. 'How can I put up the Ichigo charade with my eyes like this?' He then started faking surprise once again. "What! No... No they aren't... No..."
"I can see them perfectly, and they are." Soi Fon said.
"You're lying! Don't lie to me about something... Something like that." Hichigo said very convincingly. He almost grinned at the thought of how well he was doing at manipulating the squad 2 captain, but then remembered a smile would be out of character.
"They are. Something doesn't seem right... About you right now." she said, looking him over. "Let me see your Zanpakutou."
'Shit.' Hichigo cursed under his breath. This shinigami was suspicious. She knew where to look also. The only thing about his outward appearance that had changed other than his eyes, which he hadn't noticed before Soi Fon told him, was his Zanpakutou. It was now opposite, black with a white edge with black wraps.
"Is there a problem?" Soi Fon asked, tensing a little bit in her raising suspicion.
"N-no. Why would there be?" he said, trying to act innocent. 'Well here it goes. What excuse can I make up for this?' He thought while taking the large zanpakutou off his back. He held it out for Soi Fon to see, all at the same time thinking up an excuse.
"Why are the colors reversed?" she asked. She did have an idea of what it normally looked like, since she had been a witness to a few of his fights. She also knew a little about his viazard abilities, being the leader of the stealth force did mean a considerable amount of information came to her.
"I really don't know..." he said, actually telling the truth. He wasn't sure why his control would change the color of the Zanpakutou or his eyes, but it didn't really bother him at the slightest.
"Bullshit Kurosaki!" she spat at him. "There's something really screwed up about you, and the hollow reiatsu that's leaking out of you is utterly disgusting. Tell the truth Kurosaki... Or I will get it out of you." She said, holding up her zanpakutou Suzemabachi in its shikai form.
Hichigo had finally had it. He wasn't taking anymore shit from this shinigami, no matter if it slowed him down on getting to the Seireitei. "You know what? Maybe there is something up with me?" he said, a grin coming over him. "But I like this right now, and there's nothing you shinigami can do about it. Get it?"
"Us shinigami? Who or what are you?" she asked.
"I really don't have a name, but old man and Ichigo call me Hichigo Shirosaki." He said, putting Zangetsu over his shoulder.
"Well then, Hichigo or whoever you are, I need to arrest you for the slaughter of an innocent soul." She said, taking a ready stance.
"Let's see if you can even try." Hichigo laughed, not even noticing the child that had just run from his hiding place to as far away as he could get from the man he now knew as Hichigo Shirosaki.
